Abstract

Abstract We utilize a perspective derived from developmental psychopathology to guide our discussion of advances that have been made in the field of prevention science over the last decade. After addressing definitional perspectives on prevention, we review programmatic preventive initiatives that are consistent with the goals of a developmental psychopathology perspective. We then direct our attention to conceptual and methodological considerations in the field of prevention science, paying particular attention to the incorporation of multilevel investigations into randomized controlled trials. In the penultimate section of this chapter, we discuss the importance of translational research and of dissemination efforts. We conclude by preferring recommendations for future directions for prevention science in the decades ahead.
